Zonisamide has been proven as an effective drug for the recovery of degenerating dopaminergic neurons in the animal models of Parkinson's disease. However, several lines of evidence have questioned the neuroprotective capacity of zonisamide in animal models of Parkinson's disease.

Additional options are needed for monotherapy treatment of adults newly diagnosed with partial epilepsy. This trial compares the efficacy and tolerability of once-daily zonisamide with twice-daily controlled-release carbamazepine monotherapy for such patients. In this phase 3, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, non-inferiority

Recent studies using the genetic partial epilepsy model have demonstrated that hyperfunction of astroglial hemichannels contributes to pathomechanism of epileptic seizure. Therefore, to explore the novel anticonvulsive mechanisms, the present study determined the effects of voltage-dependent Na+ channel (VDSC)-inhibiting anticonvulsants
